Steel Trim Rings - Toyota Yaris Forums

YAR1S · 02-26-2009, 09:00 PM

I got bored of my old hubcaps (after I got bored of the stock hubcaps) and took Gideon's lead to purchase steel trim rings.

I've gotta say... it was of the cheeper and easier ways to achieve a sporty looking rim.

I definately recommend these to people who want a new look but cant afford rims.... like me, haha.

Took some Pics today despite the terrible weather.

These are Gideon's:

I will take pics of mine when its light outside.

Haha, I'm loving my stock hubcaps.. a little spraypaint does wonders.. =)

those steel trim rings are nice!
how much do they cost?

YAR1S · 02-26-2009, 09:24 PM

mine were $11 per ring... kinda pricey but I know its worth it.

No other $44.00 cosmetic enhancement can come close to what trim rings do for your ride. Did you get center caps too?

Looks very nice....you are here in Carolina, so where did you get them?

Oooohhh. What a sexy ride!

Glad to have more people do the trim rings! I think the look is great, and I actually got a few comments on my car when I had this combo! (None now.

to be honest with you OP...that doesn't look so bad at all...lol nice job

YAR1S · 02-28-2009, 12:00 PM

:D Thanks gideon, loved it since I saw your yaris done like that.... I will be trying to get the caps but I'm having trouble finding your old thread in which you gave the number....

:s

btw Klink10, I found them in an autozone, they only had 1 set.... they got around 44$ and I think the brand was called KLT or KLR.... something like that.

i wanted to get some trim rings too for my yaris! lol, but i was fortunate to come across a good deal with yarstar for his 17" rims, but i think i'll get some trim rings so whenever it snows here i can use my stock steelies during the winter :)

The center cap is from Napa's Balkamp catalog # 730-2411.

They don't fit snug without some emblem tape to close the gap, once you do that, they're golden.

YAR1S · 03-01-2009, 01:08 AM

like 3m tape? or really thick double sided tape..... isnt that 3m tape anyways? lol

YAR1S · 03-01-2009, 01:09 AM

I wanted to try and find some of these.... I bet they would look great, cant figure out what they are called or what they originally came off of.[IMG]
